No Need To Change

Epilogue

"Well, that was strange, wasn't it?" Princess Cadance noted. "At least it's over."

Shining Armor nodded. "Yeah. But we can't dwell on that too long. We have an empire to run, right?"

Cadance turned. "Certainly. We mustn't waste time. Let's head to the Crystal Palace."

~~~Meanwhile~~~

The Changeling Queen had buzzed off, determined to find the chunk of Arctic Ice so precious, as she had heard.

She was not disappointed. Focusing her energy into a concentrated beam, she began melting the Glacier where she knew the unicorn with the heart of blackess lay, dormant.

"Sommmbraaa. Sommbraa. Wake up." the Queen cooed.

"It has been a thousand years since anypony spoke my name. I have been freed of my icy prison. I have an empire to reclaim." Sombra growled.

"Wait a moment," Chrysalis said, "I have a plan. I'll change to look like you, and distract the Empire! When Shining Armor and Princess Cadance, the new 'rulers' are distracted, sneak in behind them and reclaim the throne."

The lost king smirked. "Why should I go with this? How do I know you won't stab me in the back?"

"Because," Chrysalis replied, "I want this as much as you do. The rightful ruler of the empire. The two imposters overthrown. Now, I will change into you." Before waiting for an answer, she began morphing. Her wings snapped to her sides, not a part of Sombra's anatomy. Her horn filled itself in before turning red with a grey base. Her mane became black and flowing, her muzzle elongated and fuller. The spitting image of Sombra.

"Now," she pronounced, "We have an empire to reclaim."

I liked it... But mostly because I like changelings. I have to say I would recommend making your next fue- wait that's a word?- few longer, with an OC or two. I like OCs. If you need help on your next story, if you are going to make another one, just gimme a shout and I'll respond... Relatively quickly. Just sayin I cannot write a story, but I am a wizard when it comes to plot, characters, and ... Well just about anything else that pops up! Ok so so long for now, ma'am -or sir- I'm guessing... I am rather good at guessing...just gimme- never mind.

That would be ma'am.

And thanks for your input. This was just something my friend came up with and I didn't want to change it too drastically from the original concept.

Next story I write will have some OCs in it.

2718517 you make no sense to me. Although I must admit, I usually make less sense... Pardon my damnable ADHD.

maybe you should have tried to explain more of the background behiind all of it. I mean the reader just gets bashed into the face with the fact that Chrysalis lives in canterlot as a filly, still lying on the ground, he gets stomped again with rather mean acting Celestia, then gets confronted with inconsistend storytelling of Chrysy snapping, 2 paragraphs later acting as if nothing had happened whatsoever,.

We then jump forth 15 years without even knowing what Chrysalis' plans are, where we have to asume that everything from season 2 ep 25/26 to that point has just happened. After that we Notice that Chrysails can remember everything an instant even if she only heard it once 15 years ago.

Also, Chrysalis is seemingly the only changeling in that universe.

well, there is one upside, though. I think the story itself has a quite interresting core Idea to it. I think It would have been better to expand it over some thousand more words.

TL;DR: the downfall is the pacing, take your time to write a story, at least if it´s meant to be halfway serious. And I hope you´d take this Story Idea serious, because it is quite interresting, at least to me.

have a cookie for the effort! *Faurana shoots a cookie at you*
